Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says a Catholic Charities-run shelter in El Paso is accused of “planning and facilitating” illegal migrants crossing over the border from Mexico into the US.
This is patently illegal.
The information was part of a Texas lawsuit against Annunciation House. They runs shelters for illegal aliens.
The shelter is run by Ruben Garcia. Paxton demanded the immediate release of documentation about its migrant clients. Garcia has refused to do it.
“Annunciation House publicly depicts itself as a humble organization dedicated to ‘simply liv[ing] the Good News of the Gospel’ and providing ‘compassion and freedom’ to ‘outcast[s] or alien[s],’” the filing said. “The actual operations of Annunciation House are quite different.
“Annunciation House staff … made multiple admissions that they had assisted migrants in the past in the United States who had not surrendered to Border Patrol, had assisted persons in Mexico in crossing over to the United States in the past, and they intended to continue these activities in the future.
The lawsuit was brought iealier this year. In July, a judge rejected Paxton’s request. He said Paxton was harassing the NGO.
Paxton wants to revoke their registration. It would cut off their funds.
“The chaos at the southern border has created an environment where NGOs, funded with taxpayer money from the Biden Administration, facilitate astonishing horrors, including human smuggling,” Paxton said. “While the federal government perpetuates the lawlessness destroying this country, my office works day in and day out to hold these organizations responsible for worsening illegal immigration.”
“OAG seeks to revoke Annunciation House’s registration on the grounds that it has violated the law and failed to permit OAG to inspect, examine, and make copies of Annunciation House’s records in response to a valid Request to Examine,” the court filing says.
Reuben Garcia, the director of Annunciation House, said Paxton’s suit was unfounded.
“The Attorney General’s illegal, immoral, and anti-faith position to shut down Annunciation House is unfounded,” he said. “If the work that Annunciation House conducts is illegal – so too is the work of our local hospitals, schools, and food banks.”
Garcia is breaking the law. He’s bringing in people who steal the rights and wealth of Americans. He can spin all he wants.
The gall of these people.
Annunciation House in El Paso has received $500K from FEMA in 2023-2024, despite claiming they don’t accept government grant, private donations only. https://t.co/FZx6sMGKi8 pic.twitter.com/fF0Vw84MgK

The federal government is giving money to churches and NGOs to transport and house illegal immigrants.
But they can’t take care of Americans.
Don’t take my word for it. Watch the film… https://t.co/NTPdrRU36D

One down hundred to go. All got in good with the Federal Biden cash-cow “imported people program” more funds than any offered at a common mass for certain.
mohamad started the muslim political movement to counter act the Christians who were all catholic at the time, and now the catholics are importing their enemies for money.
Force Catholic Charities and any other NGO that used government money to facilitate the movement of illegals into our nation to pay back every last cent – and with interest!!
Put all those who are accessories to this crime in prison. The argument they are doing God’s work doesn’t wash. We have veterans, the working poor, and other homeless by the thousands who could have and will benefit from this NGOs assistance, and they would actually be doing God’s work for our own citizens.
Illegal is illegal. If you feel like that’s what God wanted you to do, I respect that.
Serve your time in prison with dignity and don’t appeal your sentence.
Annunciation House isn’t the only Catholic Charity NGO taking our tax money to give aid and comfort to our enemies, the invaders. I also add Lutheran and other NGOs.
And that is why, while baptized Lutheran, I will never set foot in that church or participate in organized religion. I believe in God, but churches clique like popular teen girls and I want no part.
Look past their blubbering about how they “help” the downtrodden. This “charity” must be forced to pay back all the government funds it received PLUS a huge penalty. To hell with Catholic Charities.
The catholic priest are looking for more kids…
the feds have been giving millions to Non Governmental Organizations for years. they have been bringing illegals into the US and Europe for years. they should be charged criminally and prosecuted.
I quit the Catholic Church years ago largely because of the policies of Catholic Social Services. They were more interested in helping non-Americans and leftist causes, just like the Pope.
HIAS is the biggest culprit. Mayorkas used to be their head.
The involvement of catholic charities in child trafficking has been FACT for years! As the church turned marxist at the lead of their pope (I don’t capitalize that which does not deserve special respect), the organizations went right along. Also, Hebrew immigrant aid society (majorkas, former board member) was behind the registering of illegals to vote.
Really? Lay out the facts then.
Pope Francis is all for immigration, but he does not recognize the difference between legal and illegal migrants.
Legal migrants are those who follow the law, who knock at the nation’s front door and wait for the homeowners (citizens, government) to open it and welcome them.
Illegal migrants are thieves. They break through the back door with nothing and wanting everything. They elbow out legal immigrants who follow the demands of the law (i.e.,filing fees, proofs of income, education, skills, good health, clean police record, and promise not to be an economic burden to society, etc.) but are made to wait at the bottleneck front entrance for years and years before they are allowed to come in.
I told my Father Confessor about I hate illegals, having gone through the complicated and painful process of legal immigration myself. All he could offer to console me were the words, “Sometimes God tolerates injustice.”
I need a huge dose of faith and grace to hold on to what the priest says. So far, it’s working, until I read another report on how Catholic Charities abuse the ideal of Catholics’ charity.
I have been saying the same thing since I was 12 years old! You
re all believing Lies. The Bible ( I do not read it much) says, I am right too! What do you think they allow these Slaves (Illegals) to come here for in the first place? Slave Labor. And, you "Americans" cannot compete, or did you not notice your pitiful wages cannot sustain life? The H1-B slaves come over and take all the Doctor/Engeneering positions, so youre left with a Big Fat Student Loan and 1/2 a million-dollar housing in the Ghetto! Used Cars are getting too expensive too! Brilliant, America.And, Why?
Because, YOU will not Fight! Trump cannot fix things for you. The Swamp will Eat Him. They let him win; because they will control Him or did you forget His first Taste of the Swamp? 1-Million Angry Citizen Protesters on Wall Street Ends this People! Why is it so hard to understand? You stop their profit, until they learn to Share. They`ll Learn Quick.
And, you all better think; because Democrats ran a very stupid campaign. They had to know they were going to lose. Hillary ran the same dumb “attack campaign” on Trump and lost because of it this was well known. Billions Trashed on Stupid! How Can this Be?
Lack of critical thinking, lack of education from parents and at school.
Not an excuse. People have overcome that. It’s hard, so they take the lazy victim route.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it think.
Rubbish. I have more education than most. I rank in the 97th percentile. Nice Try.
Try challenging, content, instead of throwing stones; because you all live in Glass Houses. I can play the Insult Game better; but it is rather immature.
I made lots of money in the Stock Market; because I know and bet on the Corruption! Sadly, America, you`re losing. I try to help and get called all kinds of Ugly Names. I love it! Keep Going!
Yes this is nothing more than the modern times version of slavery trading.
It’s time for Catholic Charities to face justice. Anyone who stands in the way needs jailed. God wants Trump to save America. Catholic Charities needs eliminated period!
It’s hard to believe the Pope didn’t know about this. This thing has to be much bigger than some Catholic Charity in El Paso.
He was probably behind it.
The red pope 100% supports it. Watch any speech he has ever given re: illegal immigration.
The Pope has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Perhaps not that far. But the bishops certainly do.
Why is tha?. El Paso is near the border. It could very well be a local issue.
The pope is an imposter. Just like the pharisees Jesus exposed and condemned in Matthew 23. I was raised and brainwashed with Catholicism for most of my life. It wasn’t God opened my eyes with His word and truth, I was set free from the bondage of religion and false teachings of the Catholic church.
until
Going to be hard to operate, after they lose their tax free status and the DoJ goes after the people running it for fraud and human trafficking, just to name a couple.
I’ve been sayng this for how long now. Catholic Charities is making millions trafficking illegals and minors. What a disgusting criminal gang these creeps are. 250k or so young people have disappeared to ?
Not known for their track record with children.
Time to lose tax exempt status. And then watch how they suddenly get their act together.
